TY - JOUR T1 - Географско разпределение на прабългарски лексикални елементи JF - Съпоставително езикознание / Сопоставительное языкознание / Contrastive linguistics Y1 - 1981 A1 - Максим Сл. Младенов AB - For the first time an attempt is made to outline the areas of 20 words: belčug, băbrek, delva, deliboran, kalina, kalpak, kešir, kovčeg, korem, kraguj, kărčag, oruglica, otava, sukman, sur, haranija, čipak, šavar, šaren, šubrak. These words are assigned by etymologists to the basic Proto-Bulgarian word stock of modern Bulgarian. They belong to different lexico-semantic groups. Their areas form two zones, western and eastern, which correspond to the dialect distribution of the Bulgarian language. The special characteristics of the Proto-Bulgarian elements should, undoubtedly, be taken into consideration in tracing their etymology more accurately and convincingly. VL - 6 IS - 3–5 ER -
